1 THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANtJAKY 16, 1900. SUCCESSFUL VERB FOB Y. I C. i. Annual Meeting and Banquet . of the Association Held at Sixth and Oak. REPORTS OF THE OFFICERS larger Growth and "Wider Field of Labor Arc Prophesied for the GomhiR Ycur by All -the Members. ' A most successful year of work was closed by the Younp Women's Christian -Association last night with the regular annual meeting and banquet in the asso ciation rooms at- Sixth and Oak streets. Reports of officers showed that the or ganization was progressing as never be fore, and that every Indication pointed' to a larger growth and a wider field of labor for the coming year. Nearly 200 girls and women were pres ent at the banquet which preceded the business meeting. Tbe rooms' were beau tifully decorated, and tables were set in the parlor and library, as well as the dining-room, to accommodate the large num ber who attended. It was the largest gathering ever brought together for the annual reunion, and the speeches showed that great interest was being taken in the association work, not only by the young women themselves, but also by the many influential women of the city who are Instrumental In the welfare of the organ ization. Mrs. "W. J. Honeynian Presides. Mrs. W. J. Honeyman. the president of the association, presided at the banquet and delivered the president's message. She was followed by Miss Frances Gage, the state secretary, who responded to the subject. "The Present Age as Transi tional." Miss Sarali Case, chairman of the social committee, spoke on "Social Xeeds of Business Girls." and Dr. Jessie IcGavin on "Physical Needs of Young "Women." "Spiritual Xeeds" was the sub ject of a talk by Miss Matilda Weiss, and Miss Sophia Kcinhard spoke of "Train ing for Girls in the Y. W. C. A. and Its Value in Business." The closing speech, by Miss Marguerite Flemming, dealt with "The Business Girls and the Building Campaign." Work for Coming Year. The great work before the association for the coming year is the erection of a new building for its headquarters. Miss Constance McCorkle. at the close of the business meeting, told of what had been done in this matter and stated that It is hoped to begin work upon the building next September. An option lias been se cured on a desirable site in the center of the city, which will probably be purchased within a few weeks. The building will be five stories high and will be equipped with every convenience to meet the needs of the organization. A committee of girls has been collecting money for the building and has already raised $2000, while as much more has been promised. The president was instructed to appoint a committee among the older members to assist in this work. Has Large Membership. ' The association at present has a paid up membership of SOO and is rapidly grow ing. Its meetings are more largely at tended than ever before and the present rooms are inadequate to meet the In creased needs. The Sunday afternoon meetings during the year have had an average attendance of more than 100. The work of the year, as shown by the committee reports, was greatly increased because of the Exposition. The Y. W. C. A. operated a restaurant upon the Fair Grounds which was one of the very few roncessions that made money, more than JJOOO being cleared. This money will be turned into the building fund. During tbe Fair the Association Restaurant was patronized by COO people dally. Reports of the committees were given asfollows: Devotional. Mrs. H. X. Scott;' finance, Mrs. Francis Chamberlain; mem bership. Miss Marguretta Gibson; house. Mrs. I. H. Amos; luncheon, Mrs. "W. S. Kinney; educational, Mrs. H. Corbett: headquarters. Mrs. A. G. Barker, and travelers' aid. Mrs. Charles Kann. HEARD IN THE ROTUNDAS Water Opal Product of Wallowa County. WATER opals as pure as raindrops tinted with the reflection or a fad ing rainbow arc tho gems of the pockct siz collection of Wallowa County min erals that Fred G. Conlcy. editor and pro prietor of the Wallowa Xews, carries about with him for the purpose of adver tising the resources of his section of the state when he goes away from home. Mr. Conley has been in Portland for tbe past few days as a delegate to the con vention of the Oregon Press Association, and did a great deal to create interest In his home town by exhibiting the opals during the meeting of the editors. "Oho might say with -very little fear of contradiction that Wallowa County pro duces every mineral under the sun," said Mr. Conley to an Orcgonlan reporter, ex hibiting a few of his treasures. "These opals I picked up along the banks- of the "Wallowa River last Summer. They arc of fine quality, but by no means rare. In the same neighborhood Is also found the finest rock crystal in the world for opti cal purposes. The crystals, which are hard enough to cut glass like a diamond, are hexagonal, and .are found between strata of lime rock and lead ore lying alongside of a dyke of iron ore In what geologists term the "upset" formation of "Wallowa County. Side by side .with tho quartz crystals are found masses of ga lena, crystalline lead ore, of various sizes. "A few months ago an expert from Chi cago visited Wallowa and took back with him -a piece of the rock crystal about five inches long and several Inches thick. Since then a letter has been received from him stating that part of the -crystal has been cut up Into lonsvs, and that the piece "will net an incredibly large sum when finally disposed of In that form The crystals are fairly plentiful and are likely to become a source of considerable reVenbe to the miners of the county. "In. the "Wallowa County mineral ex hibit there Is a piece of native copper -weighing IS ounces which was dug up by a party of roadmakers on the banks o the Imnaha River. Native copper and copper ores are found m the upset forma tion and also In the formations In place. "There Is no place -In Oregon where a geologist can spend a few months, or years, for that matter, more profitably thanIn our county. Rare fossils are to be found everywhere; and petrifactions the 'like of which I. have -never seen else where." 'So Place for Waste Papers. "Officer, where is the waste paper can on this corner, please?" was the -query puti by .an. Eastern man to Policeman: iPe'te. 'Anderson, of -the "crossing squad," as he stood at Third and "Washington streets yesterday morning. "Why, there are no waste paper cans on the streets in Portland," the policeman was obliged to make answer. "For a city of this size, and of such great Importance, that Is a little strange, it strikes me," the Eastern man said as he left. "Hardly a day passes without some one asking me about waste paper cans," said Policeman Anderson. SENATOR SCOTT'S PETS Omnibus Building and Service Pen sion BUI Boom West Virginian. OREGONTAX XEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. IS. It might "reasonably be presumed from two bills he has Intro duced that Senator Scott, of "West Vir ginia, has Presidential aspirations. He Is certainly bidding for popular support In two directions, and he eiidently has no concern as to how the public revenues are expended. He would erect a public build ing in every city and town In the "United States with a population of 5000 or over; ho would give a pension of $12 a month to every man who served In the Federal Army or Navy during the Civil War. If these two bills will not make Mr. Scott solid with the voters In his own as well as other states, the voters must certainly be exacting. Mr. Scott Is entirely sincere In the ad vocacy of these two bills; they are not Introduced merely as a bid for popularity. The Senator believes they should pass, regardless of the cost. But he is fighting for a hopeless cause, for Congress will not pass either of them. For years it has been the ambition of Mr. Scott to become chairman of the com mittee on public buildings and grounds; his ambition was realized this Winter. Stlss ConManrr McC'orklc. Hrad Secretary. and be forthwith introduced bis omnibus public building bill. While it Is a piece of Impossible legislation, many Senators would like It to pass, but they dare not. A public building in every city of 0009 or more would materially Increase the pop ularity of every man wlio voted for such a bill, especially in the cities benefiting under such a law. but the vast country vote, which would not benefit under this law. might see great danger be hind such a liberal expenditure of Govern ment money, and this clement, combined with the business sense of most of the Jawmakers, will deter them from passing the bill. In brief. Mr. Scott proposes to author ize the Secretary of the Treasury to bor row on the credit of the Ignited Stales, from time to time, as the proceeds way be required, $100,090,000, and to Issue there for coupon of registered bonds In de nominations of $20 or some multiple of that sum. redeemable In coin after ten years from date of their Issue and paya ble no years from that date and bearing Interest payable quarterly, at the rate of 2 per cent per annum, the bonds to be ex empt from taxation. Tbe money raised by this method to bo applied to the erection of public buildings in cities or tonus of !i000 or more, as directed by Congress. The bonds shnll be offered at par ns a popular loan, subscriptions of Individuals to be first accepted. This Is a gigantic scheme and would, stagger the best of financiers. It will, of course, be shelved in committee, but not until Mr. Scott has had his say. As to the sen-ice pension bill, that will meet with a similar fate. It Is roughly estimated that the passage of this bill would Increase the annual expenditure for pensions by at least 330,009.000, for It would pension every officer and enlisted man who served In the Federal Army or Navy during the Civil War for a period of at least SO days. This bill would Increase the pension of every soldier to $12. If he is now drawing less, yet would not inter fere with those who are receiving larger pensions on account of disabilities. A majority of the members of Congress are averse to Increasing expenditures to this extent, especially at a time when the revenues are barely ample to meet the absolute needs of tho Nation. There is a powerful Influence behind this bill. The Grand Army has been working for Just such legislation for several years, and the old soldier vote would go to those .men who supported It. For this reason. It will toe more popular In the House than in the Senate. Many members from doubtful districts would add to thir strength by voting for this bill, but some men In the House seriously question the wisdom of enacting such a law at this particular time. But. In spite of the gloomy outlook, Mr. Scott will plod along, winning votes where he can. confident that in the end the bill must pass, and if it so happens that It is bis bill that be comes a law. be personally will reap many benefits from Its enactment. It might, indeed, make him, the soldiers candidate for President. But of course Mr. Scott is not thinking of this. May Report Upon Bruin. It Is quite likely that the Bruin Inves tigating committee will make Its report to the Council tomorrow. It is understood that Mayor Lane is very much perturbed over the situation, him mind having thought up all sorts of disordered fancies bearing upon what might happen. Tho committee will probably finish with Its labors late this afternoon, and be ready to submit Its findings tomorrow, although there Is a possibility that an extra session of the Council will have to be called to consider the matter.

Most of the Incorporators of the above companies have been connected more or less openly with the formation of tho Pacific Coast Railway Company, now the Chicago. Milwaukee &.

Jan. 15.-Spccial.)-The townslte and coal corporations formed today are organized and controllwl entirely by the railroad. The timber land company is backed by capitalists inter ested In the railroad, but not identified with its management. They arc sympa thetic corporations which will operate along the line of the new transcontinental system. It Is a part of the St. Paul policy to own its own townsltes. This docs not apply particularly to terminals located neAr the larger cities, but to the small towns that are created by projections running through a new section of coun- rAClFIC UX'VKRMTVS rOOTBAI.L MANAGER.

The St. Paul must own coal mines to supply the locomotives of the system. These will be acquired as soon as possible and developed by tho corporation organ ized today. The articles of incorporation are broad enough to enable the St. Paul to sell any surplus of coal that may be turned out. , While it is not officially stated. It Is understood from authentic sources that the timber and land corporations being backed by St, Paul Interests will have the advantage of Insldo Information and will operate most extensively along .the line of the new road. In constructing the line across the state there will be abun dant opportunities lor such speculation. 4 f Hugh W. Fpnrk.

LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Jan. 13. General freight agents and traffic managers, rep resenting all the railroads west of Chi cago and St. Louis, forming the Western classification system, will arrive here on a special Salt Lake train from Chicago tomorrow to meet in annual session, last ing several days. In addition to the 25 or more repre sentatives of the railways, there will be a number of traffic managers from com mercial houses In the West who are com ing to seek action by the committee on goods shipped by the houses they repre- sent. While the special train Is speeding Westward, a subcommittee Is making a preliminary examination of the work which Is to come before the general meet ing. ROUTE FOR NORTHWESTERN Rumor That Road Will Tap Central Oregon Country. VALE, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) The re port that has reached Vale regarding the Chicago & Northwestern Is to the effect that one branch of the line will cross the Snake River at Nyssa and run west from there to Vale and then head for Central Oregon. Which pass it will take is un known. It can follow up Bully Creek towards Beulah. and thence to Burns, and on through to Bend and across the moun tains to the Willamette Valley. If a line should go to Eureka, Cal., it would un- Mfoft Lilian Tlnrlr. Director Dome tic Sclcscr. doubtedly divide at Burns, or near there, and one line would go through Lakeview. and from there follow the course of the river to Eureka, while the other would go almost directly west from Burns. Both of these lines tap very rich timber belts. E. M. Rice, a capitalist from St. Louis, Mo., passed through Vale this week for the Interior. He stated he intended to secure large holdings of timber west of Burns, and also In the Lakeview country. This fact, coupled with the fact that Northwestern -engineers were In Nyssa last week looking over the route from Boise, where they have established a par tial survey from Casper. Wyo., leads the people of the interior to the belief that this Uric will be extended on towards the coast. BUYING "UP THE TIMBER liAXDS St. Paul Is in the Field for "What ever Jt Can Get. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 13. (Special.) Interests close to the St. Paul are'buying timber lands, operating extensively In this state. Options have been taken on several of the largest holdings Independ ent of the Weyerhaeuser Timbor Com pany, and tbe declaration has been made that there is any amount of money needed available for the acquisition of extra holdings. One of the largest logging concerns, one that bought, most of the Rockefeller tim ber lands in this state, has given an op tion to the Su Paul crowd. This option was broad enough to cover all the logging road and equipment the company holds, though none of it would be badly needed by the new buyers. An Everett man has turned over a piece of timber land he bought a short time ago and pocketed a $30,000 profit. Though it Is alleged a big Minneapolis syndicate is the buyer, the operations of the big timber speculators have been traced to J. F. Fitch, son-in-law of A. J. Earling. president. of the St. Paul. Mr. Fitch has been in the Northwest for some tune, ostensibly to enter business as a dealer in railroad supplies.- Will Form Hcalty Exchange. Another meeting of the real estate deal ers was held In the Board of Trade rooms yesterday afternoon for the purpose of perfecting the organization of a realty exchange.

' DOG GNAWS AT HAND Shocking Find by Children at Lewiston. PART OF .WOMAN'S BODY Bloody Paper Is Found Near Sum mer Dance Hall, but Lack of Light Postpones Scurch for the Nlcht. LEWISTON. Idaho. Jan. IS. (Spe cial.) Lewiston Is In the throes of excitement tonight over the accidental discovery of an arm and hand of a woman in a vacant lot in the cast end of this city and the police department Is confident that Its discovery will- de velop the fact that some foul mur der has been committed and the body done away with. About o'clock tonight children of Andrew Lee ran to their home and told their parents that their little dog was playing- with a human hand. In vestigation proved the fact and the police were at once notified and the Miss Berenice? S. Maynard, Director Domestic Arts. arm brought to headquarters where the physicians examined it and decid ed it was that of a woman. They also gave us their opinion that it had been lifeless -several days. The hand was horribly mutilated where the dog had gnawed it. It was CUe right arm and the bone at the el bow had evidently first been severed partially and then broken back. The thumb and third finger were entirely gone and the skin covering the arm and hand was comparatively fresh. The scene of the grewsome discovery is one block west of the county building and in an empty lot. In this Is a dance pavilion which is used during1 the Summer months. From investigation It was learned by the police that the dog- had evidently brought the arm from the vicinity of the pavilion and tonight the police searched the prem ises, finding- a number of paper nap kins saturated with fresh blood. Holes wcro cut through the dancing floor and men sent beneath, but owing- to the darkness the search for further evi dence was deferred until morning-. Thus far the police have not been notified of. the disappearance' of any one In this neighborhood, but it Is be lieved that as soon as the news of to dayj find becomes public the mys tery will begin to unravel. CHORUS GIRD IS BELOVED. Passionate Letter Front "Battling" Dane Has Assured Her. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. IS. (Special.) Lizctte Howe, the chorus girl, who threat ened in San Francisco to sue "Battling" Nelson for J23.CG) damages for breach of promise. Is here with Watson's Bur lesquers. She declared today that she would not take her love affairs into tho courts and refused to believe that the battling one had forsaken her. Miss Howe treasures a brief note from the Dane that expresses undying love and declares that he will remain faithful to the chorus girl. With these notes in her possession Miss Howe is immune from brcach-of-promise attorneys and declares the story sent out of San Francisco Is cruel and misleading. There may be something In the fact that Miss Howe received itn Impassioned appeal from the husky Dane this morning. Less than a week ago she was said to bo breathing vengeance, but when the malls brought her a fresh avowal of affection. Miss Howe strongly repudiated all stories of her doubt. Demurrer in Jewctt Case. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 15. (Special.) A demurrer to the Indictment in tbe F. W. Jewett land fraud case was argued In the Circuit Court today.
